CM Term 8 Campaign Pitches
« on: 13 April 2021, 02:41:17 PM »
Everyone who is running for CM Term 8 is free to post their goals and plans for CM. Remember this is a good way to show the community why they should vote for you. Those who aren't running can reply with why they think a certain person should win!

Have fun with this! But stay respectful!
There are a lot of attitudes going on around here, Don't let me get one.

reasons to vote naomi: second sexiest person on the ballot, slight southern drawl, has won woman of the year every year since 1899 (the mainstream media doesn't want you to know)

vote for naomi idiots

like if you need to me to write out a fully fledged post to persuade you i will, but i just prefer we avoid all that effort and you vote for naomi

Naomi is hot. Hot cm is nice. 8) 8)

I will host events if I won. I plan on a short & sweet cm term if I won. If I win I would post a weekly thread every sunday going over the planned events for later during the week for the duration of the term.

Hello all :)

I'm KoalaBurrito (aka Phoebe)

and I'd like to tell you guys what I'd do as CM if I were to win,
I'd like to begin by hosting events that are attendable for people from europe as well as events for people from other time zones, i feel like that's not the case right now.

When planning events for time zones other than europe's it could be that I'd miss some of them, but I'd put together an amazing event team to host those events!

You might think that I haven't been around for long enough to take on such an important job, and honestly I thought so too, but I really love VC and I'd love to help bring joy and excitement to the community!

I'd really appreciate it if you would consider me for this super cool job!
I also wanted to thank the people that nominated me! <3

Heyo it me, I just wanna finish up what events I had already planned, so if you vote for me you already know what your getting ig, I really just wanna do the murder mystery event. I'd do it before my current term is up but the writing takes forever. As you know I've been doing 2 events a month but if yall want more that can be done. As always I use community feedback to plan how I do things so just lemme know what you want and I'll make it happen. I'm running on a pro player platform, and as a player I hope to make the server a better place for us little guys!  #AlliForCM2electricboogaloo

Hey guys, I'm Seaborgium/Jack_Aubry

When I think of what brings me back to play on villagecraft more than any other server the first thing that comes to my mind is the community and all the people I've met because of it.

As CM I plan to continue our server events, such as hunger games, but also bring back some minigames that dont get as much love as they should. who's up for some group skyblock action?

Most importantly I want to help promote and create an environment that is very welcoming to new players, and keeps making them want to come back and play more!

p.s. if you vote for me ill give you coke

If I become CM again, I will host more pvp and pve events. I will get more player feedback on events and try to work around everyone's schedule to maximize the number of players participating and allowing people that are not in North America to participate. I will do building events and if it garners enough support, a hybrid event that combines pvp and building. I have large rewards for winners of these events.

Hello everyone!

I am once again asking for your support. This is my fourth time running for CM, winning my first go around, losing to (and subsequently helping) Naomi the second time, and dropping out last election. While I did not feel that I was going to be able to commit the time necessary for the position last time, I feel as though I am now more than ready to serve.

I have some big ideas in store for you all if I win. I have proven myself in establishing some of the traditions that guide the CM role to this day, such as the (now somewhat regular) build comps, End of Life,the Easter event, and Hunger Games! If I am re-elected, I have some great ideas for PvP events, Escape Maps (PvE and PvP teams), and more build comps. Additionally, I will carry on the tradition set by Naomi of Community Showcases. I absolutely love working with my team to develop new, exciting, and unique events, and I won't let you all down. Another idea I had was doing a VC trivia event where we host a trivia night about different VC history and pay players for every question they get correct. As always, I will also serve as your voice to Staff and Parliament, making sure the needs of the players ARE HEARD.

I thank everyone who supported me in the previous elections, as well as those who nominated me this time. It is my wish to keep good on the promises I have made in the last election as well as this one, and it is my goal to make the server as enjoyable an experience as possible. I will keep myself open to feedback and suggestions.

I want to also point out that I'd like to only serve for a few months, give you all the awesome events you deserve, and then pass the torch on to someone just as passionate as I am. I think that keeping the position fresh is a great way to prevent burnout and provide the great events everyone deserves.

Thank you everyone, and I look forward to potentially working with you all again.

I'm actually gonna drop out and support Koala! as I think a CM from another timezone would be a very refreshing change. and give other time zones a time to shine. 8)

Hello everyone!
         As you may know I am running for CM, I want to keep this reply pretty short, so imma cut right to the chase.
 I think I would be a nice fit for this position because of my appreciation of new players, and the fact that I am typically pretty flexible schedule-wise, I do mostly online school, so I do have a decent amount of free time on my hands, and would love to spend that time helping create events for the VC community to enjoy!
 Maybe you know, maybe you don't, but I commonly help show the new players around this wonderful server (which lol has led to 5 of my pets killed, my village griefed 3 times, and 8 snow golumns killed) (yes i have counted the snow golumns) I would love to create more events based towards newer players, with the opportunity for prizes that would help early game.
I would also like to create events that will be fun for older players *cough* (I am talking to you Octo)
I would love to continue community showcases, especially focusing on player built villages, which could help advertise them, and give players an opportunity to inspire others, as well as show off their hard work!
I would like to thank each and every one of you who nominated, and pushed me to run for this position! I couldn't have done this with out you guys. Thank you Dallas, Naomi, Octo, Daypath, and everyone else who helped!
I would also like to congratulate the others running and good luck to us all!

Hello!
I am FroggyBee and I am running for CM :O !!!
My promise for this campaign is to help out new players, along with not so new players.
I want to start hosting little mini games, like more treasure hunts or hide and seek.
I also want to help the Village Craft economy get better and stop these riots!
Lastly, I want to try and better our community (not that it isn't already amazing) to be a more wholesome and friendly place!
Village Craft is very important to me and I want to thank you for all of the support I have received these past months and for all of the friendships I have made!
I wish everyone good luck in the election <3

Just a reminder that the CM will also hold a seat in the Senate, which currently consists of Hobbes, Cyphur, CDPIV, Gerrit, and Alli, who would be replaced with the new CM if she doesn’t win. If it’s important to you that the Senate contain more diversity in gender, location, or non-staff members you might consider that in casting your vote for CM.

Luis has informed me that the new CM, if it's not Alli, actually will NOT hold a seat in the current Senate, but would be offered a seat in the August senate.  Apparently the CM spot would be filled by a random sortition if Alli is not re-elected.  I did not know that until today!

Actually the next CM won't enter the Senate until next session. When a CM is removed during a session that seat becomes vacant until it is filled by Sorition.

Though that is an important consideration for whomever is next CM they will be in the 3rd Senate session as long as they too aren't voted out

Greetings villagecraft! I'm Luna and I'm here to explain why you should vote for me. As some of you remember when i first joined the server I wasn't the best member and I'm still VERY VERY new to the server and there's still some unresolved problems with some the other vc players. A lot of you know me as Luna, or frog, or even cookie at some point  but not alot of you know me as ana, so here i go revealing my name for you all. my name is anakido and no im not 10 the reason why i want to become cm is to prove to you all that i can act my age, that im not some retarded 10 year old who plays on the server, i want to be respected, Not brutally ignored i want to be a good cm even though i might not be the best pick, in fact i recommend voting for hobbes or one of the other people running for cm as i did. I've never really had a position of somewhat power but i want to give it a try, now some of you may be cringing while reading this cause im not the best at writing long uhh what do you call these?...essays or something idk but anyways back to the point if you feel like it may be worth a shot. just maybe, vote gamingsquids for cm. thank you for reading and enjoy your day. <3
i like frogs
